Gracepoint Video: Got 5 Minutes? Catch Up on the First 5 Episodes Now

If, with a “scandalous” Thursday drama soon heading into its winter break, you’re thinking about diving into Fox’s Gracepoint murder mystery — but are concerned about having missed the first half of the season — TVLine just became your new best friend.

The exclusive video below recaps the first five episodes of the 10-episode mystery, over the course of five minutes. Who thus far have presented as persons of interest in the tragic death of young Danny Solano? Whose alibis are iffy? Who is still hiding something from Detectives Carver and Miller (played by David Tennant and Anna Gunn)?

The catch-up below will fill in such blanks, allowing you to jump in this Thursday at 9/8c, and then keep tabs on the mystery as it builds to its Dec. 11 reveal of the killer. (And for those already watching Gracepoint, the video makes for a nice refresher.)

For a show that need all the love that it can get and are being fast track in some other part of the world beside US of A. It’s like they don’t want you to watch it. Geo-restriction on recap. Good job NBC.

I really want to like this show but it’s moving WAY too slow. I guess I expected too much. I thought it would be a bit more edgy and suspenseful but it isn’t. I wish the dialog was smarter as well. “We WILL find who did this, you have my word”, isn’t exactly ground breaking material. Maybe I’m just used to watch shows like this on cable where they can take more risks. At this point, the only people who I’d be surprised to find out that did it are the Mom or Ellie.
